My packet is being sent to the insurance as we speak!! So please send me your prayers and good luck wishes so that I may get approved!! I'm so exited!!

Mine took just under 5 weeks to get approved. I was told that they can take up to 30 business days to make their decision. : (. Alas, it did come! Be patient and stay focused! Good luck to you!

Yeah, the insurance said they have up to 30 days but all I've heard is that it never takes that long. Short yours took so long. :-( but at last you got approved already! So congrats! When is your surgery date? Or did you already have it?

Does anybody know if they deal with these on the weekend at all?

I'm not sure. Knowing them they don't. :-( I wish they did, though!

I was approved in 4 days!! Thinking good thoughts for you!!!

Thanks!!

Best of luck!!!

Thanks!

Oops! My surgery date is Jan. 5th. They were able to schedule it quite quickly, considering the holidays. Good luck to you!

Wow! that was fast! I wonder why some insurance require a 6 month nutrition program & the whole 9 yards - like Cigna (LOL). I will see my surgeon on thursday. I understand that I still will have several additional tests before my surgery next month.

I was so excited to get approved but was unhappy about the month wait for the surgery.

Mel,

Thanks for the welcome. Hang in there your approval is on its way.

how are you going to do the diet during the new years???

I expect that it will be difficult, but doable. I am so excited to finally have this opportunity, that I will (mentally) be able to find pleasure in my own little "holiday shake". Eye on the prize, eye on the prize ..... Is my new mantra during difficult times.

My surgery has been scheduled for December 28th. I am so nervous!
